Careful what you wish for, I remember snow in the Crystal River-Lecanto area not many years ago! Winter of 95-96?

Some good coments guys. Jared was only trying to help the people that need it. As for me I just park in the carport and when the temp gets up to 45 degrees or above I just hop on and ride.

Jared,

Thanks for the information. I just recently relocated to Utah from South Florida and will need to do this for my two bikes. Of course I'll wait until the last minute!!!
